I still like the current crop of Asus boards for the Intel platform, but
Gigabyte has made up some ground on the UEFI transition after being way
behind previously.
The good news is that USB 3.0 is finally native (4-ports) in the Z77
chipset, so any board based on that platform should have at
Greg,
Thanks for the reply.
I will need to read up on Haswell. I take it you think it is worth
waiting for?
Since I might spend $200+ on a mobo, if the features are worth it I
might waitIt's not as if I don't have plenty of PCs in here :). I
just hate that my main rig isn't reliable.
Haswell will be a good upgrade for some workloads, but leaks/the rumor mill
seems to be suggesting that it will probably be fairly minor (by Intel's
standards) compared to previous TOCKs. I personally just hate spending good
money on a platform that's within sight of being replaced.
Yes, Haswell
Is there an asus board you like best?
I had intended to keep this setup for 4 years, so I don't think waiting
on haswell has any real benefits if there are no other features.

I've built a couple of lower-end systems off the P8Z77-V LK, which is a
pretty bargain basement model (Realtek NIC), and a buddy just did a new
3770K build with the P8Z77-V (Intel NIC). If you aren't overclocking,
anything at that level or higher is probably fine--just match the features

The P8X77-V Pro is an excellent Motherboard. Has an Intel NIC as well. I
recommend this motherboard for the current setup. IT will also run a Core 2 gen
CPU's as well.
Good luck,

Anthony,
Some months back I bought 3 Asus P8Z77-Vpro m/bs. They will mate with
Intel i5-3570K cpus.
I bought these m/b's forthe on-board Intel G-Bit NICs. No I do not need
the Wifi. No I do not
depend on USB 3.0. My home LAN works just fine.
I'm still deciding about moving to SSD (separate

Duncan,
Have you built these yet? I thought you had them running. Didn't know
you had that mobo, though.
3 of them? Just curious as to what you do with them. Do they each have
a mission of sorts?
Thanks.

Anthony,
NO. I have NOT built yet. I only bought and put on the shelf. I am still
thinking about
some of 'myniggle' issues that Greg brought up. Fine?
